This Library does not even scratch the surface in the use of organ stops. It is hoped you gain knowledge of this and it encourages you to experiment further. It’s amazing how
few organists and even teachers understand how the stops work. Don’t be afraid to experiment. No combination will make the organ explode, so go ahead and try. If you
don’t like the sound, change it. If you do like the sound, write it down so that you can use it again. Above all, enjoy yourself. That’s what the organ is for.
